What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I've done that before in my old Mustang. There was no fixing that rim lol

 

Upped my patch game, moved my bed bar with the hi lift to the front of the bed and attached a couple of fishing poles to the bracket, still gotta get a hi lift, waiting on my Rocky Road Super sliders to ship first (wife got em for me for xmas) moved my shovel and axe to a more tucked away spot, and ordered Total Chaos bedside stiffeners looks like I need them. Gap is has increased since RTT and bed bars

 

Drawer is coming along too, got it setup with some minor tools. When it comes to a long trip I'll prob add some more heavy duty tools and leave one compartment for some small camping gear I wanna keep secure and dry. Wanting to eventually get some thick foam that I can cut in the outline of my "2nd amendment tools" for transporting to the range

 

Welcome to PA roads!

 

While I am guilty of babying her sometimes, we do get to work every now and then



And in case anyone was on the fence, the 265/75/16s did not rub with a half ton of rocks in the bed

 

Where are you at in PA? I'm up on the NY border in Bradford.

 

Black headlight mod done!

 

Wouldn't it be better to replace the wheel?

 

Another Milestone.

 

New rear springs under the recall DONE!! Also, got LEDs for the reverse lights, will install them tomorrow. Had to replace a headlight bulb, too. Damn, it's hard to get my fat hands in between the light and the washer fluid bottle...

 

How much was the capacity on it's little helper in the second picture?

 

Pittsburgh!

 

I think battery side is worse! Lol

 

the wheels are powder coated I don't feel like buying a new wheel it just needs to get menu for a month or two until I buy all new wheels. I don't feel like ordering one and getting it powdercoated. Anyways, it's in an easy enough spot where he can get at both sides to weld it.

 

Nice nice

 

GPS Pillar Mount.

New Garmin 57 LM (old one was toast)
17mm to 25mm ball adapter
Ram motorcycle ball and 6" socket arm
M6x50 and nuts/washers from the hardware store



Install took about 5 minutes. Plan to droop the power cord over the column to the cig plug, might run power someday, might not.

 

Got my truck driving much straighter now. Fell asleep on the highway at 2am a while ago and since my steering always pulled to the left I drifted into the concrete divider wall (better than the trees on the right). Only scratched my fender flare and wheels. But it hit the wheel hard enough to need an alignment. Drives dead straight now!

 

Swapped the steelies for some stock alloy wheels, I couldn't believe the difference they made power wise. I didn't have to downshift nearly as much, but the alloys do weigh probably 10 lbs less per wheel.




Edit: on a side note, had to buy washer lugnuts got them for dealer cost at a Lexus dealer for 3.50/each. 54 bucks for 14 and the dude gave me 14 used ones free... I'm a vendor there

 

This lights up the ol' backup camera...
